Toy Not To Be Used

Chapter 9

Hiya it's me again XD so how's it going? Last time well I'm not going to bother. I'm too lazy to try so you're going to have to read the last one. Gomenesai. Anyhow, I hope you like it (Tch. You better if you want to live ¬¬ lol jk) Okay special appearance by Sakura, hit it!

Sakura: Okay Rose-chan owns nothing but the story line.


Sasuke smirked cockily and it made Sakura breathless. So there they were, Sasuke leaning against Sakura on a couch again and Sakura pressed back on the couch as much as she could. Sasuke was having another fantasy about the two making out and strangely so was Sakura. Although, Sakura was frightened of it while Sasuke….'enjoyed' the beauty of it all. Then, much to Sasuke's disappointment, his doorbell rang; disrupting his daydream fantasy. He leaned away, much to Sakura's relief, and went to answer the door. Sasuke reached for the gold-stained steel handles and pulled to see an agitated Ino and a furious Naruto.

Naruto stormed inside searching desperately for something "Where is she?"

"Don't worry she's fine. I cleaned and wrapped the wounds she obtained. She's in the living room"

Ino gasped "You mean Sakura was injured?"

"Yeah I didn't expect two guys from the Thunder Company to come to Sakura's house over Hinata"

Naruto was surprised "What do they want with Hinata-san?" asked Naruto with hidden anger and possessiveness.

Then way from the living room Sakura remarked "You know I'm still here right?"

Sasuke, Naruto and Ino went to the living room to apologize, "It's ok" replied Sakura, who was covering her mouth while she was eating her Subway.

"So what are we going to tell Hinata?" queried Ino.

"That's easy. Nothing." declared Sakura.

"But why Sakura-chan?" asked a rather confused Naruto.

"I don't want Hinata to worry about what happened to me that's all" resolved Sakura.

"It has to do with Hinata as well Sakura. Since it is her that they're after." instructed Sasuke.

"That may be true but Hinata may blame herself for this dilemma" pointed out Sakura.

"Sasuke does have a point though Sakura. Sure Hinata will do that but it's in her nature to make people feel less guilty even if it hurts her" replied Ino.

"And you don't think Sakura-chan is aware of that? She just wants to keep Hinata-san from worrying and protect her" argued Naruto.

"I think we should inform Neji about this since his cousin is involved," suggested Sasuke.

All three bright-heads nodded in agreement. They couldn't tell Hinata but they most certainly could tell Neji. It was the only way to protect Hinata.

Naruto and Ino left after a thirty-minute quarrel about where Sakura was going to stay not even considering her thoughts about it. In the end, Sasuke won and Ino and Naruto returned home with scowls on their faces. After Naruto and Ino left, Sasuke smirked sinfully at Sakura. Sakura knew immediately what to do. Stop, drop and run! Although with her having injuries that hurt like bitch she withdrew to the floor only to have Sasuke pick her up and set her down on the guest bedroom. He was about to do the most risky thing since he met Sakura…he was going to kiss her… again. With him so close to her, Sakura didn't know what to do. She could either stay completely surprised and nervous or let her fury out and knee him in his pride. When Sasuke was only seconds from kissing Sakura, his doorbell rang again. He swore under his breath and went to open the door leaving Sakura dazed and relieved at the same time. He opened the door and to his complete surprise, he saw her.

~Sasuke's POV~

I looked down to see my mother with her Baby Phat purse and Itachi with both their luggage. Itachi. I scowled at him. What was he doing here? Then I turned to my mother in confusion. Did she tell him about Sakura?

"Mother I didn't expect you to get here so fast" I looked at Itachi, "with him aswell"

"Oh, Sasuke-chan I'm sorry about not telling you but he just had to. We'll explain later. I promise." replied mother franticly.

I smiled gently "Don't worry mother all's well. Come inside"

My mother and Itachi came inside and walked through the hallway with me. Unfortunately, Sakura's room was the first room and her door was wide open. Itachi abruptly stopped.

"Sakura-san is that you?" asked Itachi in disbelief.

Sakura was apparently taking a nap and Itachi's voice must have woken her up. "Nani? Give me five more minutes" grumbled Sakura.

She rolled over and flinched screaming out 'OUCH!' I sighed and walked into the room. "Don't roll over Sakura or your wounds will open up"

She huffed "Yeah well it would be a hell of a lot better if my arm wasn't hurting like a-"

"Sakura-san that is no way for a lady to talk" Itachi reminded Sakura sternly.

Sakura sat up wide-eyed at Itachi "I-I-Itachi-senpai? Is that you?"

Itachi set the luggage down and walked up to Sakura "Yes of course it is. Now have you been drinking enough milk these past couple of years?"

Sakura's nose wrinkled "After all these years all you can ask is if I drank enough milk?" Sakura sighed, "Well I was forced to seeing as how you sent my home a letter telling them to."

Itachi looked satisfied "And did you remember to scrub behind your ears?"

Sakura rolled her eyes "Yes, father I washed behind my ears"

Itachi gently smiled "Good. You look very pale do you need more milk?" Sakura shook her head violently. Itachi laughed "Alright then don't knock your head of so, what do you want"

"For one thing I want cinnamon tea" she then turned to me, "and Sasuke do you think you could get my Subway?"

I nodded and left them to appreciate the time they had together. I never knew Itachi had this kind of relationship with Sakura. They almost seemed at ease with each other. Itachi's lines even smoothed and his eyes softened which rarely ever happened. I found Sakura's sandwich on the couch and took it back to Sakura. I walked in to see Itachi try to make Sakura drink milk while my mother laughed. This scene looked so full of fun and it was like a real family. I walked up to Sakura and handed over her sandwich. "Here you go Sakura"

"Oh, thanks Sasuke"

So the night continued like that. Itachi explaining the good things about milk, Sakura refusing to listen to his 'milk lecture', my mother tucking Sakura in bed and each of us kissing her forehead. Well all of us except for me, for fear that Sakura, even at this state, would rip my lips off. Everyone but me left to their rooms and just before I left I turned to see Sakura sleeping. She looked so innocent I couldn't resist kissing her. Her face was smoothed from the awful truth about life and looked like the face of a naïve child. As I bent down to kiss Sakura's forehead I whispered goodnight and kissed her. Her skin was velvety soft, softer than silk even, and it took all of my will power to release the physical contact. I stood up straight and turned off the lights before closing the door. The hallway made my footsteps echo, which made my home seem like it was hollow even though there were four people, including myself, there. I opened the door to my room and saw Itachi there sitting on my favorite chair. I glared at him. He stood up and motioned for me to sit down. I ignored his command and sat at the edge of my bed.

"What is it you want Itachi?" I asked with my arms crossed.

"What is it about Sakura that attracts you Sasuke?"

I raised my eyebrow "I don't see how what I feel for Sakura concerns you"

Itachi looked at me with red flames in his eyes "It has everything to do with me little brother"

"How and why?"

"You see Sasuke ever since Sakura turned seven I started babysitting her, after 3 years her parents…. Well I ended up raising her for four years with Naruto"

"I see"

"I warn you Sasuke, you do anything to hurt Sakura, you'll regret it" as Itachi said this his lines etched deeper into his face and he looked more haunted and serious than usual.

Itachi left and I just stood there wide-eyed. How much does Sakura mean to him? Another thing, how much a part of her past was Itachi? The idea that Itachi knew Sakura before me and I didn't even know of it made my blood boil. To think she didn't even make an attempt at meeting me when she already knew my parents. Another is, why didn't they tell me about Sakura? Is there something about her past that I shouldn't even try to find out? Well whatever it is, they've caught my attention and Itachi was going to regret that for sure. I closed the door and turned off the lights before I went to sleep. Why is my life now revolving so entirely around Sakura?

In the morning, I woke up to hear my mother and Itachi talking behind my door.

"Mother it is best that Sasuke not know of Sakura's past"

"But why Itachi? You saw that look in his eye when he saw Sakura in pain"

"Mother I must also remind you Sasuke had that same look in his eye when Karin fell and only got a scratch when they were dating"

"Yes, that's true but this look was different"

"Mother"

"Why in the world can we not tell him?"

"Because mother, it is Sakura's past and we are merely a part of it"

My mother sighed "Very well so will he ever know?"

"Only if Sakura allows him to"

"Then it shall take a great deal of time"

They both walked away and I was in complete shock. No wonder my parents and Itachi would go have a meeting without me in that room. It had to do with Sakura. One thing is for sure, if I were to find out about Sakura's past, I'd have to go to the second most closest person to Sakura other than my family.

I got up after one hour of thinking of what I had to do. I walked out of my room and into the kitchen in my pajamas. I opened the refrigerator and got out the milk and butter. When I set them down and looked back to close the door, I saw a note from my mother.

Dear Sasuke,

Itachi and myself went to go grocery shopping and get Sakura some things she might need. Be sure to take care of her. Don't let her even lift a finger! Be sure to add milk in the batter of pancakes you make. She needs the Vitamin D. Oh, be sure to buy her vitamins at the store the shape of dinosaurs, she likes those. Goodness to many be sures'! We'll be back at five. Be a good boy and see you later on.

Yours for an eternity,

Mom

I sighed in relief that Itachi wasn't here. The less he was here the more I could find out about Sakura. I got out a whisk, a bowl and the pancake batter. I put in two and a half cups of pancake batter, one cup of water and began to stir it together. After thirty minutes, I finished the pancakes and walked to Sakura's room with a bed tray containing a pancake in one forearm. While in my other forearm, I had a tray with a pancake, too. In each of my hands, I had orange juice. The door was open and I walked in using my behind to push the door away to give me room to enter. As soon as I did that Sakura sat up and looked at me with a sleepy, hazed look that made my stomach lurch. She looked at me and smiled gently say a good morning groggily.

"Morning" I replied calmly.

"So what is it?" asked Sakura perplexed.

"I brought you breakfast" I stated bringing my arms up slowly to show her.

Sakura's eyebrows shot up "You did this just to give me breakfast?" asked a stunned Sakura.

I shrugged, minding the trays and juice "It's nothing really"

I walked up to Sakura and gave her the juice and then her bed tray "This is anything but nothing" replied a cheerful Sakura.

"Just eat it and that will be enough" Sakura shrugged, flinching a bit. Before Sakura could even reach for the fork, I remembered something my mother told me to do. "Wait Sakura don't pick up the fork" I ordered while putting my tray and juice on the nightstand.

"And why not?" asked an irritated Sakura.

"That's because I'm going to be feeding you"

"What!" screeched Sakura.

"My mother said not to let you lift a finger"

"Oh, well, out of respect for Mikoto then I shall allow you to but don't get any ideas got it!"

I smirked "Oh but of course not Sakura"

She growled and I picked up the fork and started to cut up her pancake. After a minute or two, I picked up the fork along with a piece of pancake. I moved it towards Sakura's mouth and she reluctantly opened her mouth. I fed her the pancake and she began to chew. As she was chewing, my attention drew to her mouth. It was smooth, slim, curvy, pale pink and I could just imagine feeling the mellowness of her lips. The thought made me want to kiss her right now but I restrained myself. When Sakura stopped chewing, I stopped looking and gave her another piece only to be absorbed by the same cycle. I would have done them but thankfully, I only made six pieces. After I finished feeding her, I gave her some orange juice. She chugged it down like she needed it. Just like I needed her lips. Ah! I have to get my mind straight. What is it about Sakura that catches me? Her body? Yes, her body attracts me perhaps even more than any girl ever had. I always feel her physically but it isn't only that. Her looks? That's a part of it, she could be a super model even but there was something else. I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Itachi's question has been dawdling in my head all morning. What is it about Sakura that attracts you Sasuke? That question had been racking my brain. I just hope I find the answer before I do something stupid and humiliating.

"Hey Sasuke?"

"Hmm, yes Sakura?"

"I want to watch a scary movie"

"How about we watch that tonight so it looks scarier. We can even invite the others"

"Sasuke"

I sighed "and Sai"

Sakura smirked "That's a good boy"

My stomached toppled over and my breath went out. Her smirk was like a devilish and tempting half smile on an angels face and it made me shiver. I had to look away to control myself. What the hell was Sakura doing to me? No woman, no matter how attractive, ever made me feel this way. Then I remembered something.

"Sakura, you need to take your prescriptions"

Sakura sighed "Well then get them"

"Ah."

I went to the bag I got from the hospital and took Sakura's cup aswell. The instructions said to either eat or drink it so, I refilled Sakura's cup with orange juice and walked back to her. She seemed like she wanted to get this over with and immediately took the juice and pills from my hand. She read the directions and took out a pill and drank the juice with it. After she finished drinking it, I took the cup and prescriptions and put them away. Then walked to the kitchen with the dirty dishes and washed the cup. When I was done with that, I went back to the room to hear Sakura's stomach gurgle. I looked at her face confused.

"Sasuke take me to the bathroom NOW"

I picked her up and carried her to the guest bathroom. I put her down in front of the door and opened it for her. She closed the door and I left the room out of courtesy. I was invited back when the sound of rushing water was done. Sakura opened the door and I carried her once again to her bed. She looked slightly uncomfortable.

"Is something wrong Sakura?" I asked curiously.

"Yeah well I need something comfy to rest in"

"Well I could give you my pajamas when I was twelve"

Sakura snorted, "Please Sasuke I'm not that thin"

In truth, Sakura was thin but not thin like Karin, who had slight curves but weren't visual enough to entice a man. I don't even know why I went out with her but Sakura was thin with curves that were too tempting for a man's sanity. I walked to my room and got out my old pajamas I wore when I was fifteen. They were blue, made out of silk and were thin so Sakura would feel very comfortable. My lips curled. Maybe even thin enough to show her figure just like her gym clothes. I shook of the image reluctantly and walked back to Sakura, who was waiting patiently in the bed. Her head shot up and looked at me. She looked at the folded clothes in my arms. I closed the door and walked up to her. She tried to stand up but she couldn't and depended on me to help her change. When she realized this, she grimaced and started to unzipped her shirt and motioned for me to give her the shirt. I helped her put it on, letting her arms get in the loose sleeves easier. She buttoned up the shirt and I helped her up so she could put the pants on. She slid the shorts off and I made sure not to look at her legs. Pulling the pants up and supporting her weight while she was trying to pull them up too and not looking at her hips move side to side, was very hard. I stood up straight and looked at her. The blue pajamas made her rosy skin look beautiful and her green eyes stand out along with her soft pink hair. The shirt was loose but it did show her figure especially the pants. They tightened around her thighs and calves but were loose enough to be flexible in and feel like pants. Sakura then moved back to the bed but ended up on her knees. I picked her up and placed her in the bed.

"Don't get used to helping me out Sasuke" replied Sakura sleepily.

"Don't be so sure I won't try this even if you aren't sick. Now go take a nap. I'll tell the others about the movie"

Sakura fell asleep, once again looking like an innocent child. I tucked her in. I left her room and called the others, even Sai, because I wanted to get on Sakura's good side in order to know about her past. Sai seemed surprised to hear me call yet accepted the offer. After that, I checked on Sakura again and she still had that untroubled look in her face. Little did I know that tonight would be the night Sakura would actually let me deeper into her life.


Well what do you think? Once again, tell me if there's anything I should do to get better. Hope you liked it. Gomen if it's confusing or something I don't know. Be sure to subscribe or else lol jk. Don't think I don't punish things or people who don't do things like they're supposed to. I remember this piece of ice wouldn't make my water cold so I put it in hot water and said 'Take that biznitch!' lol true story! R&R. I own nothing but that story as Sakura said. Have a nice day… or night lol
